[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 286127, member: 8"] And so the story ends of what is partially a continuation on the dramatic narrative and partially an impressionism-style expansion of the Twin Peaks mythology. Audrey and Charlie finally arrive at the Roadhouse which is now the Bang Bang bar (I didn't even realize they were the same) and in hindsight I think their mini-story is a parody on the daytime soap opera where nothing happens for weeks. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1628631608095.png"]29326[/ATTACH] Like James Hurley she gets to do a reprise of [I]her [/I] anthemic contribution to original Twin Peaks and it ends with an even bigger cliffhanger than the explosion at the bank. There's a crowd-pleasing conclusion to one of the original cliffhangers: Ed and Norma are back together again. They also fabricate a new Dougie for Diane's sister (!) Janey-E and Sonny Jim. Richard Horne dies - Twin Peaks' answer to Christopher Ewing - but we don't know how it ends for Shelly's daughter and her troublesome boyfriend. Jerry Horne finds his way out of the forest but he still can't see the wood for the trees, his binoculars notwithstanding. The domestic situation of Ben Horne's assistant Beverly is not further explored. Lucy finally understands the technical aspect of cell phones in the penultimate episode. Is it just me or has it become a trend that the penultimate episodes are the most exciting ones? The green glove strikes again! Fabulous.
